AI policy in Poland : Ethical considerations already at the core

• The chapter outlines the main stages of development of AI strategy in Poland, focusing on three significant documents: Considerationsfor AI Strategy in Poland (November 2018), Policy for Development of AIin Poland for the years 2019-2027 (August 2019) and the draft Policy forDevelopment of AI in Poland from year 2020 (September 2020). At themoment of writing, the latter document has been adopted by the PolishCommittee of the Council of Ministers for Digitisation and is still subject to the ongoing legislative process. It should therefore be noted thatthe final shape of the Polish AI strategy may differ to some extent fromthe one analysed in this chapter. The report was prepared through analysis and comparison of the above documents, with a few references topreparatory documents and official governmental websites. What follows is a deeper analysis of the second draft of the AI nationalstrategy, Policy for Development of AI in Poland from year 2020, withregard to how the following points of interests were interpreted andincorporated: definition, funding and investments, applications, data,the country’s identified characteristics and strengths, innovation, law,education, consumers, SMEs, environment and inequality. The strategysets out objectives which Poland is planning to achieve in the shortterm (until 2023), medium-term (until 2027), and long-term (beyond2027). It is divided into five subject areas: society, innovative companies, science, education, international cooperation and public sector,and consists mainly of action points on different levels of detail.The analysis in this chapter of the drafted AI strategy shows that theethical component – especially the EU’s and OECD’s concepts of trustworthy AI – played an important role in shaping the strategy. It is alsonoted that ethical principles were already reflected to a high degree inthe first document, Considerations for AI Strategy in Poland, which suggests that the ethical dimension of AI has been taken seriously by Polishpolicymakers throughout the legislative process.
